Sony's Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set for a solid fourth weekend at the North American box office, expected to earn around $35 million domestically and $85 million worldwide, despite a roughly 50% weekend-on-weekend decline. The film, already Sony's highest-grossing release ever with over $2 billion globally, is being closely watched to see whether it can overtake milestones set by Avatar and Avengers: Endgame, and whether it can push China's Ne Zha 2 further down the all-time charts.

Meanwhile, Blumhouse's horror sequel Insidious: Out of the Further opens domestically with a projected $23 million to $27 million across 3,303 theatres, likely securing the second spot at the US box office behind Spider-Man. Directed by Jacob Chase and starring series regular Lin Shaye, the film carries a 60% "fresh" Rotten Tomatoes score and is forecast to add a further $26 million from 64 overseas territories, putting its global opening between $49 million and $53 million, with particularly strong early results reported in the Philippines.
